Thank heavens for that. I didnt get a confirmation or a reply to my request for information - perhaps why they only have 4000 signatures in so long?!

I got a letter from a Nigerian lawyer offering me zillions of dollars.
Well, not exactly me.
I used the name of an old toy, a rabbit puppet named J. Sidney Lawrence, to track how my information was used when I signed up for an e-something or other.
"Sid" received a letter from a Nigerian lawyer who told him that a millionaire whose last name was also Lawrence had died in a trgic accident & left no heirs. He did not ask for a bank account number or anything like that, initially he just wanted confirmation that his email was received. Being the considerate person I am, I corrected it & returned it with the suggestion that he get his secretary's computer a spell-check program.
He wrote back insisting that his offer was legitimate & contiinued to insist that, even after "Sid" claimed to work for the FBI International Fraud Division.
He emailed me several times to describe how real the zillions of dollars were, & each time he used a different email address. He also was promoted from attorney to a government official, "Attorney Minister".
I finally got rid of him by pretending to be Sid's secretary & claiming that Sid had gone undercover to investigate Nigerian banking fraud & couldn't be reached.
I received a couple in my own name from persecuted Iraqi Christians offering me millions if I help them escape from Iraq.

Nah...usually I can't make it from the kitchen to the library without following one of the cats.
The "persecuted Iraqi Christians" didn't even want a map, just my bank account info so they could "transfer funds the anti-Christian government wanted to confiscate".
